Forgot to mention. Put the coral plus in the front section in the second slot.
Did I read that right that @AquaticLifeProducts may be coming out with a 6 bulb hybrid if so I hope they offer a buy back program lol. My fixture is like brand new but 6 bulbs would be bad a** over my 220 just saying.
Best Buy use to have a buy back with TVs but you had to pay for it in advance and it depreciated quickly lol

Wow awesome you guys make in my opinion the best hybrid fixture like I said I love mine but an extra 2 bulbs woul be amazing on my tankAs soon as the 4 lamp dimmable is complete we will look at what we can do to fit the 6 lamps in the same housing with a modified T5 extrusion. Little concerned for the 24" and 36" as the dimmable ballast are a lot longer than the standard ballast and I don't think I can fit two dimmable in the 24" and 36" on the same side. We will try.
It may only be a 36" and 48" with dimming of a combination of dimming and standard ballast.
I will have to check on the buy back, we never did anything like that before.
Any update on the 6 bulb fixtures? I would love a 60”As soon as the 4 lamp dimmable is complete we will look at what we can do to fit the 6 lamps in the same housing with a modified T5 extrusion.

Awesome on the 6 bulb bummer on the dimmable 60”. Thank you for the response!We are still considering a 6 lamp fixture. However, a 60" dimmable is not in the works since HEP does not have an 80 watt ballast with dimming control. Sorry.
Wanted to ask if you ended-up going with the Aquatic life fixture with the 2 Kessil 360x's? also did you end-up with the 2x blue and actinic combo on your T5's? I'm asking because I am thinking of doing almost the identical setup but on a larger scale (300 gallon tank). Do you have any current pics of your tank and lights? are you happy with your growth and did you eliminate the Disco lighting affect? Thank you so much!This is what I ran in my 6 bulb fixture but it was 10 years ago now. I was happy with that combo but quickly upgraded that tank to a 375 gal(which we left in the wall when we sold the house) where I used mh. Then swapped to radions but didn’t like the disco effect.

So this time I plan on running the 2 kessil 360x’s with the new fixture aquatic life comes out with. So it looks like I’ll have 2x blue + with at least one actinic. That’s my plan anyway, just hoping the fixture is still on track for around the 1Q of next year.
Thanks for all the responses! It seems that the crew at BRS really loves this combo.

any update on when you'll be releasing a 6 bulb version? this is something desperately need for those of us that have wider tanks. Right now my only other choice is to buy stand-alone T5 kits like Reef Brites.We are still considering a 6 lamp fixture. However, a 60" dimmable is not in the works since HEP does not have an 80 watt ballast with dimming control. Sorry.
Yes I ended up with that setup but did 2 blue plus, coral plus and an aqua blue special. It’s a little white compared to the kessils but I’m really happy.Wanted to ask if you ended-up going with the Aquatic life fixture with the 2 Kessil 360x's? also did you end-up with the 2x blue and actinic combo on your T5's?

Hey sorry for the delayed response. I have the 36” aquatic life with 2 kessil 360X’s, 2 36” reefbrites and I added 2 single T5 fixtures for a total of 6 bulbs. Front to back T5 bulbs ( blue+, blue +, purple +, coral+, blue+, blue+ ). I’ve never experienced the disco ball effect even when I had 360WE’s. The growth was good but even better since the reefbrites and 2 T5 bulb add ons. I put the reefbrites and the extra 2 T5’s on in the same week. I call it Frankenlight lol.Wanted to ask if you ended-up going with the Aquatic life fixture with the 2 Kessil 360x's? also did you end-up with the 2x blue and actinic combo on your T5's?

Love your frankenlight configuration....curious, do you dim you T5’s and are the two single T5 fixtures dimmable? If so, what brand did you go with?Hey sorry for the delayed response.
